Clemson or Florida State? That is the big question in the ACC heading into the 2023 college football season.
With the start of the season kicking off with Notre Dame vs. Navy at 2:30 p.m. in Dublin, Ireland, today, along with many six other college football games, College GameDay returned. While they didn’t travel for Week 0, they held the show at ESPN’s home in Bristol, Conn., and did their thing.
Their predictions went beyond the Week 0 slate, with Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, and Pat McAfee making their predictions for each conference champion this season. So, who do they see winning the ACC?
Clemson is the favorite, with both Herbstreit and McAfee choosing the Tigers to win the conference and Howard choosing Florida State. It’s a good look for the Tigers; Howard not riding with the Tigers is somewhat expected.
In 2022, Howard was incredibly high on Miami, harping on them being one of the most underrated teams in the country, and also believed Florida State might be the best ACC team that season… we all know how that turned out. I’m not saying he’s a Clemson hater; I’m just saying he’s avoided the Tigers before.
The 2023 season should be an excellent one for the ACC, with Clemson and Florida State battling for the conference.
